The Terminal movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: The trip still feels oddly unnecessary. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: The Terminal is so beautifully directed, so pleasurable to watch and so thoughtfully put together, it's a disappointment when you realize, halfway through, that the movie is going to fall way short of a masterpiece. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: The Terminal is quintessential Spielberg: perfectly cast, technically breathtaking, sentimental to the point of being one sugar cube away from gooey and extremely pleasurable to watch. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: An unabashed romantic comedy and Capraesque fable that takes Spielberg into realms he's rarely traveled before. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: I'm not in love with The Terminal, but I liked every minute in it. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: This is the first time in my life I wanted to spend more time in an airport terminal, and Spielberg is just such a brilliant filmmaker; the things he does with light and with motion and some amazing tracking shots. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The Terminal isn't terminal, but it comes close to flat-lining a few times too many. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: Everything about this movie feels forced. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Like so many of Spielberg's films, it's the dream of a brilliant child, and a lovely place to tarry before returning to adulthood. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: An engaging, consistently amusing diversion. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Unavoidably funny and touching enough that we can ignore its weaknesses. Read more
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: The first 45 minutes or so are interesting, as we learn about Hanks' character and his unusual situation. Then the whole thing takes a nose dive and never recovers. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: In Viktor, Hanks finds a character worthy of his gifts. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Spielberg has crafted the film with a proficiency as seamless, and impersonal, as the setting, and you may feel, after a while, that you're longing for your departure time. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: To watch The Terminal is to be in one -- your plane delayed, your future on hold, your pass in hand and nothing to board. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: A joyous movie. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: An inspired piece of chutzpah. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: The film is so flaccid and pedestrian one can hardly believe it comes from the director whom a majority of Americans would presume is the best this country has. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: It's an odd fable: Viktor is the mysterious visitor who shows us what the American Dream is all about-in the movie's terms, compassion for others -- without ever wanting to become an American himself. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: The dramatic part of this ensemble drama doesn't work very well. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: Feels disingenuous and dogmatic. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: A feel-good film of such originality and sweetness in a summer of otherwise derivative sequels and remakes that it practically qualifies for miracle status. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: The concept was there; the production abilities were there. It's the execution that fell apart. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Rarely have I been so acutely aware of a movie's softness and sentimentality, and rarely have I minded less. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It's not bad so much as empty, self-satisfied and cute. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: A fine, enjoyable, uplifting fantasy that's suitable for viewing by all members of the family. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: A sweet and delicate comedy. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: A fairly small, surprisingly intimate movie. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The small joys it has to offer are wholly dependent on the willingness of the audience to indulge in the proverbial suspension of disbelief. And believe me, much indulging is necessary. Read more
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine: A bad film. Several bad films, actually. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: If moviegoers suspend their disbelief -- easy enough thanks to the diverse and talented cast, as well as Spielberg's capable direction -- they're bound to enjoy this cinematic fantasy. Read more
Scott Foundas, Variety: Spielberg does not appear to take himself or the material too seriously, and his steadfast refusal to see the proverbial glass as less than half-full is more inspiring than cloying. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: Relentlessly behaviorist, the filmmaker seldom fails to pat the puppy and, applying John Williams's melodic treacle, woo the viewer with cheap sentiment. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Delicately funny and inventive. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: Discordant, unsatisfying, sometimes emotionally incoherent. Read more
